Tho Des Molnes Register seems 10 be
unaware that the war of the rebellion Is
over, and that, according to the records
there are no longer any rebels. Al least
il would seem that this is the case since
in the last weekly edition of the Register
ten Of the seventeen editorial articles are
in regard to copperheads and rebels. Oh
the remaining seven editorials, three are
in relation to Gen. j. B. Weaver, 30 that
between Weaver and other settled Issues
the readers OF the Register must feel disap-
pointed at Editor Clarkson's failure Ia
mention something OF some present inter
eat. It would seem as though he was tired
OF 80 much worry and vexation IN keep
ing prohibition out OF politics, and had
taken vacation, leaving instructions for his
assistant to keep up the supply OF editor
ials by reproducing these that appeared In
the Reqisler twenty five years ago without
regard to their being irrelevant to the pre-
ssnt tlime.--Nelps, Davenport, IolOa.
